Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford has praised the positive effect fellow forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has had on him since the former Sweden international’s arrival in the summer.

Ibrahimovic, 35, joined United on a free transfer after leaving Paris St Germain and in addition to the impact he has had on the pitch with six goals in 11 appearances, his influence on the players around him has also been significant.

Rashford believes he has already learned much from the hugely experienced striker, who has won 31 trophies during his career at clubs such as Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan and Ajax, and thinks his fellow younger team-mates are also benefiting.

“It has been amazing,” the 18-year-old Rashford, currently on international duty with England’s senior squad, told Inside United magazine.
